Jenifer Langosch, of MLB.com, reports the Pittsburgh Pirates apparently signed Indian P Rinku Singh to a minor league deal Monday, Nov. 24, according to a report on Yahoo! Japan. The signing has not been confirmed, but general manager Neal Huntington did say the team has been interested in Singh.

The Boston Red Sox and Cleveland Indians have confirmed that they will be among at least 20 major league teams in attendance Thursday, Nov. 13, in Los Angeles, to watch the workouts of Rinku Singh and Dinesh Patel, two 19-year-old pitchers from India, according to Bob Nightengale of USAToday.com. Singh is a lefthander who throws 89-90 mph with a split-fingered changeup, while Patel is a righthander who throws 91-92 mph with a circle changeup. Neither player had picked up a baseball until a year ago.
